Levitate (Japanese: ふゆう Floating) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
Levitate renders the Pokémon with this Ability immune to damaging Ground-type moves (except Thousand Arrows). It also is unaffected by the effects of Arena Trap, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Rototiller, and terrain. Additionally, Poison-type Pokémon with Levitate do not remove Toxic Spikes upon switching in.
These immunities are lost during Gravity or if the Pokémon with Levitate is holding an Iron Ball, is under the effects of Ingrain, or has been hit by Smack Down or Thousand Arrows. This Ability can also be suppressed by Gastro Acid or ignored by Mold Breaker, Teravolt, or Turboblaze.
Pokémon with this Ability are eligible to enter Sky Battles, except Gengar because it lands on the ground when entering the battle.
Outside of battle
Levitate has no effect outside of battle.
